WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--The department
OF agriculture reports the yield OF corn TO- {
bushels per acre, on about 73, 600, 900 acres
or 1,453, 000, 900 bushels About 5000. OOC
acres is reported as abandoned before
ripening. On the acreage planted the
average would be 1876 bushels per acre
the same as in 1881. The corn surplus
States average slightly less than in 1881;
the thirty-one other States more. The
final record will be changed only by slight
adjustments.
The quality of the crop is much lower
than usual in the dry region, and the pro.
portion OF the mcrchantablc considerably
below the average.
The picking of cotton has progressed rap
idly, and the harvest is already closed, ex-
cept in the soils which haze resisted the
adverse influences Of the season. The De-
tober condition indicates Il yield per acre
3or4 per cent. less than last year, with
nearly per cent. increase in area. The
returns of yield in fractions Of bale are
less than last year, in about the same ratio,
while the original returns of yield per acre
in pounds are nearly the same as those OF

found its way TO the well having been
washed down by the rains) and impaired its
odor to the water. If the soil be of heavy
clay the danger will be lesSened, but on all
porous soils the liability of pollution of the
water is great. No manure heaps, privies,
sinks or other receptacle for filth or refuse
of any kind should be within so or 40 feet
of the well, and the farther off the better.
No matter how tight the well may be the
toad will sometimes continue to get in
Many wells contain toads that die and are
swallowed in the drinking water unknow-
ingly, under the supposition that the well is
tight and ''toad-proof" Wells should be
thoroughly cleaned at least once year, and
especially in the fall For distance of ten
feet around the well the surface should be
cemented, and the pump itself should be
cleaned occasionally Toads, flies, bugs,
worms and even gnats will get in the water,
while only few drops of a solution from
filthy drain or sink, finding its way into the
well, will carry bacteria enough to rapidly
multiply and contaminate all of the water
Roots of trees and vines also serve as drains
into the well, as they loosen the soil, and for
that reason they should never be planted
near the source of drinking water

Planting Orchards

A correspondent of the Germantown pa
Telegraph conveys some valuable informa-
ton in the following notes from his own
experience: | have set out trees of every
sort of fruit and a great many sorts of shade
and ornamental trees in the last 40 years and
have never yet failed. But always do one
thing which l never saw recommended. If
a tree is set in the ground as received from
the nursery the small ends of the roots are
invariably ''dried dead.n Dead roots can
make no new growth; consequently, unless
the tree can obtain nourishment from the
until new eyes in the roots are forced out
and take new root, the tree must die at once
or be greatly weakened by its efforts, and
then is sure to die upon any great strain
upon it from drought or cold. But if every
root is trimmed off to sound live wood it at
once becomes cutting, with numerous ends
to callous over and form bunch of new
and most vigorous roots. When this is done
the tree scarcely falters in its growth In
cases where trees have no small roots and
only three or four large ones this plan is
sure to make. them live. l never stake
tree. prefer to cut in the top till the wind
has no hold on it, but mainly to prevent an
exuberent top from demanding more sap
than the roots can supply the first year.
All plants down to strawberry plants must
be root pruned to insure prompt growth.
Always have your knife as sharp as razor.

Haymaking in Florida.

Mr.. M. p. Arnold, of Richland, Pasco
county, writes to the Florida Dispatch of
his experience in making hay. 1t ought to
encourage farmers to raise enough at least
for home consumption. He says: Three
years ago enclosed two acres and a half
around my house. The land was near the
edge of lake that had white, sandy bot
tom, and this enclosed land would have
taken the premium anywhere for extreme
poverty. | was determined to raise the
standard of fertility of that plat of ground
if | was compelled to haul on it all the
leaves and muck in Pasco county meas
ured off an acre and on this mound spread
evenly forty big loads of leaves and ten
loads of leaf-mould and pond muck l
planted cowpeas the first year, which did
tolerably well, although the ground was
extremely porous, for the great mass of
leaves did not rot until the following year.
The next spring drilled in 5000 pounds of
cotton seed meal and planted to Irish pota-
toes. After these were off planted conch
peas, which made a tremendous growth
This spring planted to corn, one kernel to
the hill, five feet apart. The corn produced
on this acre was the admiration and aston
ishment of every one who saw it. / let
every sucker grow, and some hills had three
suckers and the main stalk, and these all
grew about II feet high and were as large
around as Mississippi or Illinois bottom
corn. The suckers made good ears. One
variety of corn, called Brazilian -four corn,
suckered profusely, and one particular hill
had ten suckers and made 81 years. After
this corn was gathered, and it turned out
immense, pulled up the stalks and let the
crab grass grow. The leaves and muck had
now become thoroughly assimilated with
the soil and the way the grass grew was
amazing, and this in spite of the dryest wet
season ever known in Florida. When ready
to cut the grass stood waist high and in
some places was badly lodged. In such
places the grass, when drawn up, would
reach to my shoulder. l never saw such
grass in New York, the champion hay pro-
ducing State of the Union. l cut the hay
myself and it made over two tons of fine
hay. Did l hear some one remark that hay
could not be made in Florida?

especially if the straw be wet, viii give

Mr.. n. J. Shepherd, of Eldon, Mo-, YER
satlle writer for the press, tells the Seine
Breeders Journal that he has never been
able to see that there has been any gain in
keeping the growing or stock hogs fat. The
only time that it is necessary to have the
hogs fat is when they are ready to market.
1t is not a good plan to stint the hogs-this
is worse than keeping them too fat both ex
tremes should be avoided with breeding OF
growing pigs or hogs.
From careful experiments the late Mr..
Mechi discovered that plants slightly wa
tered every day often perish, and always
become dwarfed, whereas a good soaking
given twice week almost invariably proves
beneficial. There is no doubt that
thorough soaking of the ground two or
three times week is much better than
the same amount of water applied in drib-
lets sufficient to wet the upper surface
only and not the earth contiguous to the
roots
At this season of the year the air, is full
of all sorts of microscopic life, the germs of
which are floating and settling everywhere.
They are most plentiful in stables, barn
yards, sheds, etc, and wherever there is
fermenting and decaying matter. If the
COWS be MIXED in such places microbes will
De lnnaled by the COWS ana enter into the
general circulation, and thence into the
milk, and they will also fall into the milk
pals and cans, and contaminate milk by
direct contact.
When sowed corn begins to turn yellow
from being sown too thickly it ceases to ac-
quire any additional value. Not only does
growth cease, but the plant becomes watery
and insipid. Cows will eat it, but their
milk viii shrink as compared with even
fair pasture. To give really nutritious
stalks sOwed or crilled corn should have
room enough to grow in. so that most of the
stalks would at least set a nubbin When
this is the case there is a great amount of
sweet in the stalk.
The Michigan Farmer says: "a Mis-
souri, farmer has discovered a new remedy
or exterminator for the army worm The
worms attacked a 70-acre clover-field,
charging by battalions and brigades He
turned a drove of $50 swine into the field
combining them to the part ON which the
worms had appeared, and was delighted
to find that the hogs ate the worms
with apparent relish, and finally COM
pletely annihilated them. But, great
Scott! who would eat pork make from such
swine!"

Level and Hill Country.

1t has been for many years disputed
question, says the Missouri Republican,
whether level or hill culture was better for
growing crops, but as there are so many
differences in soils while the modes required
for crops of all kinds are unlike, the expert
ence of each farmer on his own soil can
alone decide the matter. The fact is, that
under certain conditions, either mode may
be better than the other. On soils that are
damp, with subsoils composed of stiff CLAW,
the killing system may perhaps be prefera-
bic; but where the soil is well underdrained
or the ground rolling, the level system may
be the more suitable. Cultivation of the
soil is intended not only to clear off the grass
and weeds, but also to assist the growing
plants to obtain and retain the greatest
amount of heat and moisture, as well as to
afford more feed to the roots Something
also depends upon the kind of manure and
fertilizer used, and upon the quantity ap-
piled. In an experiment tried by an agri-
cultural journal, potatoes were grown at
the rate of 1000 bushels per acre, but the
fertilizer used was in sufficient quantity to
supply all the requirements of the crop.
The level cultivation was practiced in grow
ing the crop, and it is probable that a COM
plete failure would have been the result had
the killing system been followed, for the
reason that in order to dissolve so large an
amount of mineral fertilizer plenty of moist
ure was necessary, which was retained by
the field being level. BY cultivating the
entire service the fine earth served as a COW
ering or mulch, thereby preventing eyapo-
ration, as capillary attraction drew the
moisture up from below; the connection,
however, being broken where the soil was
stirred. Hill cultivation would not only
have required the hoe to a certain extent,
but would have caused the exposure of a
larger surface to the air, producing greater
evaporation. Corn growers are aware that
the roots of growing corn extend in every
direction and feed as near the surface as
possible, and for this reason many farmers
Ohock their corn in the rows and cultivate
in both directions, the desire being not to
stir the soil deeply, but to keep the surface
fine But on stiff, wet soils hill cultivation
is sometimes necessary, or the young corn
will be injured from heavy rains. All soils
that have been well tiled with drain tile will
permit of level culture as the most tena-
cious soils are pulverized by the air and heat
if well drained. No rule, however, can be
laid down for all to follow, as hill or level
culture depends entirely upon circum-
SfancnS
